I know that historically you had the issue of authentication -- the old Flickr app could only display public photos as a screensaver because there was no way to authenticate the user's account on the device. Now that you rolled out your awesome new app, could you allow the private images to also be included in the screensaver display? Or at least an on/off option for this? My Flickr folders have a mixture of both private/non-private pictures that would be completely fine to be displayed on TV -- I just don't want the whole internet to see the private ones.

I've been waiting a long, long time for something like this, and I gave up hope -- until I saw the new app today. Help a Flickrer out!

<b>GROUP ISSUES</b>
1. Return the admin invites to the top of the comments section of the NPE so we can tell when we have an invite without having to go to Recent Activity.
2. Fix Recent Activity so ALL admin invites are visible (regardless of the designated time period). Currently we can only see ten and that's not enough: many more than that can come in, especially in the first few days after posting.
3. Return the 'Invite To/Remove From' groups window to a list (which wastes less space) and show when a photo is already invited (saves time).
4. Make all the groups to which a photo has been added visible with a &quot;more&quot; button.
5. Note the number of groups a photo is in (as before).

<b>PHOTO ISSUES</b>
6. <u>PHOTO TITLES:</u> Titles are essential to the appreciation of many photos: a) in regular photo view, make the photo's title more prominent so it's clear what it is; b) in full screen view, list the photo's title along with the poster's name.
7. <u>DATE(S):</u> Make it clear what the date on the photo page represents. Right now it could be anything. (And, hopefully, use the upload date instead of the date the photo was taken. Or better yet, include Taken, Uploaded and Modified dates. If a person disables EXIF info, there's no way to discover this important info.)
8. <u>TAGS:</u> Bring back the MRU (Most Recently Used) drop-down for tags. Having to navigate from the group, back to the photo page and back to Recent Activity for the purpose of tagging is a nightmare.
9. <u>NOTES:</u> Return the ability to add a note directly onto a photo (including the ability for a person to disable this function if they wish). Listing notes under Tags is not useful (or easily discoverable).

<b>GENERAL USER INTERFACE ISSUES</b>
10. <u>HTML:</u> Make all user settings for HTML sticky: both the specified size and the choice of HTML or Embed. If one never uses Embed and almost always uses the Medium 640 size of HTML, it's a real pain to have to reset these every time.
11. <u>MENU BAR:</u> Return the menu bar to the top of the photo pages. We need to be able to navigate from every page.
12. <u>SEARCH BOX:</u> Return the search box to the top of the photo pages. We need to be able to search from every page.
13. <u>BUDDY ICONS:</u> Make clicking the buddy icons (both that of the user and those of the commenters) on the NPE bring up a drop-down menu for Settings, Flickrmail, Stats, etc., as before. We need access to these options on all pages. (Since clicking the X in the upper right corner takes you back to the photostream, there's no need to have the buddy icons do the same thing.)
14. <u>SCREEN NAMES:</u> Use both the real name and the screen name in Comments. What's the point of having a screen name if it's not used everywhere. If only one name can be listed, it should be the screen name.
15. <u>RECENT ACTIVITY SETTINGS:</u> Make all user settings for Recent Activity sticky so we don't have to change to our preferred view every time we access the page.
16. <u>READABILITY:</u> Return to black print on white background or give us a choice. Black on white is very difficult for some people to read.
17. <u>SPEED:</u> Not only is the new interface not 20 times faster than the old, for some users it is actually slower.
18. <u>KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:</u> Return explanation of the keyboard shortcuts (&quot;c&quot;, &quot;g&quot;, etc.) to the photo pages. How else will anyone learn this method of navigation?
19. <u>DUPLICATE COMMENTS:</u> In the old interface, if you mistakenly tried to post a duplicate comment (such as an award icon), the duplicate was disallowed. in the new interface, the duplicate comment is accepted. Please change this back.

In spite of a near universally negative reaction to your infinite scrolling search page debacle your staff has consistently responded to complaints with the same indifferent platitudes and draconian decrees coming just short of telling us to get used to it or sod off. If I dealt with a client in this manner somebody else would be cleaning out my desk because I'd already be out on the sidewalk. Everybody involved in this issue has hurt your reputation and damaged your credibility, from the developers who dreamt it up on down through the execs who approved it, the engineers who wrote it, the QA team that tested it, the Copy dept that promoted it, the accountants that paid for it and the admins who thank us for complaining about it.

Oh, and it's been over a month since your search engine forgot the difference between AND & OR. Fix that ****!
